2 y What is Strategic Planning? The allocation of resources to programmed activities calculated to achieve a set of business goals in a dynamic competitive environment. * Source: Daniel H. Gray. Uses and Misuses of Strategic Planning Harvard Business Review.. January - February What is the role of the operations function? as implementer as supporter as driver Strategy Strategy Ops Ops implements strategy Ops supports strategy Strategy drives strategy 4
3 The Strategic Role of the Function The 3 key attributes of operations Implementing Supporting Driving Contribution be Dependable Operationalise strategy explain Practicalities be Appropriate Understand strategy Contribute to decisions be Innovative provide Foundation of strategy Develop long-term Capabilities 5 The strategic role of operations can be defined by its aspirations (Hayes and Wheelwright) Give an Advantage Link Strategy With Adopt best Practice Be as good as competitors Increasing contribution of operations Be clearly the best in the industry Redefine the industry s expectations Externally supportive Internally supportive Externally neutral Correct the Worst Problems Stop holding the organisation back STAGE 1 STAGE 2 STAGE 3 STAGE 4 The ability to Implement The ability to support Strategy The ability to Drive strategy Internally neutral 6
4 How can the contribution of the operations function be assessed? Neutral Supportive Internally Stage 1 Objective is to minimize the negative impact of operations. Stage 3 Objective is for operations to provide credible support for the business strategy. Stage 2 Stage 4 Externally Objective is for operations to help the business maintain parity with its competitors. Objective is for operations to provide a source of competitive advantage. 7 The operations function can provide a competitive advantage through its performance at the five competitive objectives Being RIGHT Being FAST Being ON TIME Competitiveness Flexibility Being ABLE TO CHANGE Being PRODUCTIVE 8
5 What do the terms quality, speed, dependability, flexibility and cost mean in the context of operations? Which enables you to do things cheaply (cost advantage)? Which enables you to change what you do (flexibility advantage)? Which enables you to do things quickly (speed advantage)? Enables you to do things on time (dependability advantage)? Being able to do things right (quality advantage)? 9 The benefits of excelling Minimum price, highest value Quick delivery Fast throughput Minimum cost, maximum value Reliable operation Dependable delivery Error-free processes Ability to change Flexibility Error-free products and services Frequent new products, maximum choice 10
6 An operation contributes to business strategy by achieving five "Performance Objectives" Doing things RIGHT Doing things FAST Doing things ON TIME CHANGING what you do Doing things CHEAPLY Gives Gives Gives Gives Gives a QUALITY advantage a SPEED advantage a DEPENDABILITY advantage a FLEXIBILITY advantage a COST advantage 11 Hospital means different things in different operations Patients receive the most appropriate treatment Treatment is carried out in the correct manner Patients are consulted and kept informed Staff are courteous, friendly and helpful Bus company Automobile plant All assembly is to specification The product is reliable All parts are made to specification The product is attractive and blemish-free Supermarket The buses are clean and tidy The buses are quiet and fume-free The timetable is accurate and user-friendly Staff are courteous, friendly and helpful The store is clean and tidy Décor is appropriate and attractive Goods are in good condition Staff are courteous, friendly and helpful 12
7 has several meanings, the two most common are as the specification of a product or service Eg. Lower Hurst Farm produces organic meat raised exclusively on its own farm as the conformance with which the product or service is produced Eg. Quick service restaurants like McDonald s buy less expensive meat 13 Irrespective of a product or service s specification quality, producing it so it conforms to its specification consistently brings benefits to any operation Externally -- it enhances the product or service in the market, or at least avoids customer complaints Internally -- it brings other benefits to the operation It prevents errors slowing down throughput speed It prevents errors causing internal unreliability and low dependability It prevents errors causing wasted time and effort, therefore saving cost 14
8 External and internal benefits Flexibility On-specification products and services 15 means different things in different operations Hospital The time between requiring treatment and receiving treatment kept to a minimum The time for test results, X-rays, etc. to be returned kept to a minimum Bus company The time between customer setting out on the journey and reaching his or her destination kept to a minimum Automobile plant Minimizing the time between dealers requesting a vehicle of a particular specification and receiving it Minimising the time to deliver spares to service centres Supermarket Minimising the time for the total transaction of going to the supermarket, making the purchases and returning The immediate availability of goods 16
9 again has different interpretations externally and internally Externally it means the elapsed time between a customer asking for a product or service and getting it (in a satisfactory condition) It often enhances the value of the product or service to customers Internally -- it brings other benefits to the operation It helps to overcome internal problems by maintaining dependability It reduces the need to manage transformed resources as they pass through the operation, therefore saving cost 17 External and internal benefits Short delivery lead-time Flexibility On-specification products and services 18
10 Hospital means different things in different operations Proportion of appointments which are cancelled kept to a minimum Keeping appointment times Test results, X-rays, etc. returned as promised Automobile plant On-time delivery of vehicles to dealers On-time delivery of spares to service centres Bus company Keeping to the published timetable at all points on the route Constant availability of seats for passengers Supermarket Predictability of opening hours Proportion of goods out of stock kept to a minimum Keeping to reasonable queuing times Constant availability of parking 19 Externally -- it enhances the product or service in the market, or at least avoids customer complaints Internally -- it brings other benefits to the operation It prevents late delivery slowing down throughput speed It prevents lateness causing disruption and wasted time and effort, therefore saving cost 20
11 External and internal benefits Short delivery lead-time Reliable delivery Flexibility On-specification products and services 21 Flexibility has several distinct meanings but is always associated with an operation s ability to change Change what? The products and services it brings to the market Product/service flexibility The mix of products and services it produces at any one time Mix flexibility The volume of products and services it produces Volume flexibility The delivery time of its products and services Delivery flexibility 22
12 Hospital Flexibility means different things in different operations Introducing new treatments A wide range of treatments The ability to adjust the number of patients treated The ability to reschedule appointments Automobile plant The introduction of new models A wide range of options The ability to adjust the number of vehicles manufactured The ability to reschedule manufacturing priorities Bus company The introduction of new routes and excursions A large number of locations served The ability to adjust the frequency of services The ability to reschedule trips Supermarket The introduction of new goods A wide range of goods stocked The ability to adjust the number of customers served The ability to get out-of-stock items 23 Flexibility External and internal benefits Short delivery lead-time Reliable delivery Flexibility On-specification products and services Frequent new products/services Wide range Volume and delivery changes 24
13 Hospital Bought-in materials and services means different things in different operations Technology and facilities costs Staff costs Automobile plant Bought-in materials and services Technology and facilities costs Staff costs Bus company Bought-in materials and services Staff costs Technology and facilities costs Supermarket Bought-in materials and services Technology and facilities costs Staff costs 25 The cost of producing products and services is obviously influenced by many factors such as input costs, but two important sets are.. The 4 V s volume variety variation visibility The internal performance of the operation at quality speed dependability flexibility 26
14 External and internal benefits Short delivery lead-time Reliable delivery Flexibility On-specification products and services Frequent new products/services Wide range Volume and delivery changes 27 External and internal benefits Low price, high margin, or both Short delivery lead-time Reliable delivery On-specification products and services Flexibility Frequent new products/services Wide range Volume and delivery changes 28
15 Polar diagrams for a taxi service versus a bus service Taxi service Bus service Flexibility 29 Polar diagrams for a proposed police performance method Required performance Reassurance Actual performance Efficiency Crime reduction Working with criminal justice agencies Crime detection 30
16 Polar diagrams for Newspaper Collection (NC) and General Recycling (GR) services Newspaper Collection service General Recycling service Flexibility 31 strategy is different from operations management Time scale Level of analysis management Short-term for example, capacity decisions Demand 1-12 months Micro level of the process strategy Long-term for example, capacity decisions Demand 1-10 years Macro level of the total operation Level of aggregation Level of abstraction Detailed For example Can we give tax services to the small business market in Antwerp? Concrete For example How do we improve our purchasing procedures? Aggregated For example What is our overall business advice capability compared with other capabilities? Philosophical For example Should we develop strategic alliances with suppliers? 32
